If a Nikon has a problem, would buying another one have that same problem?

Probably. I have noticed this camera drop in price dramatically and it is being updated. I don't know what your problem is but I returned mine when it would not take a pny brand memory card. Was told by Nikon tech it only uses a sandisk brand and that nikons are this way even if I bought another. I also had issues with a wireless card in this camera but that may have been the card as much as the camera. Otherwise, it is a good basic camera but I am moving up to a canon t4i so I can do more and have flexibility with add ons, cards, etc.

hi Holly, honestly this camera was buyed by my mother in law, i highly recomended her to buy another brand, lumix by the way. What i think about nikon is that is a very triky brand, too complicated sometimes, mostly for amateur users (like me), so in that matter, i´m agree on somethings Joseph said about it.finally, to answer your question, in general is not a bad camera but i rather another brand, thats personal, but if i buy any kind and it comes with any issue, i definitly wouldn´t buy it again, even of the same brand

I just went to my local Best Buy today. They had 3 D5000 in the box and I had them check all serial numbers at Nikon's web sight. All were within the recall. Most recalls give customers a serial number range so I also would not be surprised if all D5000s are recalled either.

I think may be a grey market product and not covered by USA Nikon. That is what happened to me when I went to register it. However the seller may warrant it. Ask before you buy. Good luck.

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

I've had that happen a few times, it hasn't done a thing to mine... they seem to remain unaffected with the Nikon brand..

Nikon sucks...mine had a lens issue just after 30 days...had to send for repair and it took nearly 2 months to get it back. Then that lens died 9 months later..conveniently out of warrenty...and it would cost $100 to fix it! I bought a Canon...

Have you tried the manufacture of the camera? They were very responsive to a problem I have of my first camera. I think they can help you with replacement parts.

I bought several of these for our 20D's and 30D's, and never had a problem. I'd guess either you received a broken one, or perhaps you need to clean your connectors in the camera?

Nikon doesn't have a warranty directly, but you can purchase two-year warranties from Assurant Solutions or Square Trade Protection Plan. When I was purchasing the camera, at the bottom of the screen where you choose "Add to Cart", I saw the warranty options where it said something like, "People who purchased this product also bought:". I clicked on Square Trade Protection Plans for my camera and Assurant Solutions for my son's camera. My son and I love our cameras. Haven't had any problems. Hope this helps!

Hi, I think you can email Nikon and ask for one. Mine came with the warranty card.

I would do it again without hesitation, I've had zero issues with this so far. There is difference in the feel vs Nikon's battery grip but no where near the difference in price! Small price to pay in my opinion - Hope this helps

It should, most refurbished are just returns for some reason and or were demos. It should say if it does or not. Nikon does just sell a body only as a refurbished..

I own a Nikon D610 (a replacement from Nikon for a defective D600) and I'm very familiar with oil spots/wet cleaning/return for service with the D600. Sadly, 500 shots in with the D610, the spots are back! 2,000 shots and the spots are very numerous and dark. Wet cleaning is ineffective. Replacement D610 did not come with a replacement warranty. Only the original D600 warranty applies. I fear I've received a defective D610 as a replacement for the defective D600. Time will tell, but it's not looking good.

You should be able to call Nikon customer service and find out if it is compatible.

Yes to all. You will likely want another battery as a back-up and a larger memory card. There are many battery brands, other than Nikon, that are significantly less expensive.

Yes. Resolved in d610. But Nikon is FINALLY doing free replacements or fixes of the D600 models

Yes Nikon offers 1 yr warranty. Be sure to check if your dealing with a private party about their policy.
